A default judgement, if you do not know, is entered upon an individual who does not file an answer to the complaint filed by the plaintiff (RIAA). The courts do not like to enter default judgement, but in the case of this young person they most likely did not have an alternative. The courts would be wise to re-open this case, as the American courts do not like to stand on default judgements and would instead prefer to adjudicate on the merits of the case.

I think in the next few years you’ll see a lot like Tanya Anderson’s case in which she is currently filing for charges of malicious prosecution against the RIAA, citing things including the famous “driftnet” quote.

To Capt. Crunch and others like you. Get off your high horse.
So none of you own a VCR and have never recorded a movie/program from the television.
Because if you have that is also technically copyright infringement.

[...] RIAA Wins $8K Default Settlement Against Chronically Ill Teen Like something straight out of a bad made-for-TV movie, the RIAA has handed down its most recent hard-earned lesson about file sharing (and a possible $8,000 fine) to Ciara Sauro, a 19-year-old girl who suffers from pancreatitis and severe depression, has mounting medical bills and whose mother brings in just $8.25 an hour.

Directv and RIAA never win when they have used the court to force a settlement when the person was innocent. The justice system lost as a whole because when people are forced against there will to settle, it is no different then a robbery. This especially when they knew the person was innocent. Think about it, when the person “was” innocent, it was a crime to lie in the court complaint. The next time I face my civic responsibility as a Juror or witness, I will use Juror Nullification to ignore the justice system just as they have ignored me. Justice has to protect those who have been sued by fraud.

This is a horrible case of kicking someone while they are down. Pancreatitis is not a common condition in young people. I grew up with chronic cases of it due to a cyst on base of my bile duct. My father’s Oncologist once explained to him that the pain of a pancreatitis attack is up there with bone cancer. That poor girl. I hope that they are able to help cure her so that she can begin to experience life without constant excruciating pain, and that they are able to get a fair trial for this girl.

Copyright protection for audio and video recordings should just be eliminated entirely. I fail to see why my taxes should be wasted propping up a non-viable industry to keep a bunch of incompetent media executhieves in coke and whores.

[...] TheTripwire is reporting that the Recording Industry Association of America has won a default $8k settlement against 19 year old Ciara Sauro of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. What gives this story its special RIAA touch is that Sauro suffers from pancreatitis and severe depression, she’s in the hospital on a weekly basis and her mother brings in $8.25/hour. Oh, and she claims she didn’t steal music. Local attorney, James Brink, has offered to defend Sauro at no charge. [...]
